Word 2003 Section Break Page Break
A Page Break makes a new page. A Section Break (Next Page) makes a new page
AND a new Section. This new Section can have different Headers/Footers/etc. A Section Break (Continuous) makes a new section on the same page. This can be used to have single column and double-column setups on the same page (for example). The Odd and Even Section Breaks are great for books and/or duplex printing setups. -- Bill Foley, Microsoft MVP (PowerPoint) Microsoft Office Specialist Master Instructor - XP www.pttinc.com Check out PPT FAQs at: http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/ Check out Word FAQs at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/index.htm "Jon" wrote in message ...

Word 2003 Section Break Page Break
Jon,
A manual page break simply instructs Word to force any text that follows onto the next page. A section break can do this as well, depending on what type of section break it is, but what all section breaks have in common is that they contain page formatting instructions such as the margin settings, page number format, header and footer content, page size and orientation, etc. So for instance, if you wanted to change from portrait orientation on one page to landscape orientation on the next page, you would need to precede the next page with a section break at the bottom of the first page. If you wanted to follow the landscape page with another portrait page, you would need yet another section break at the bottom of the landscape page. Hopefully you get the idea...
